Hear from Our Customers
You get a paint job that stands up to Michigan weather. No peeling after two winters, no fading by summer’s end, no wondering if you made the right choice.
Your home looks sharp from the street. Neighbors notice. Your property value reflects the quality. You’re not dealing with touch-ups or complete repaints every few years because we do it right the first time.
That’s what happens when you work with painters who’ve spent over a decade figuring out what works in Center Line’s climate and what doesn’t.
We’ve been painting houses in Center Line and surrounding areas for over a decade. Legends Construction LLC has been operating for two years, building on that foundation of experience.
It’s mostly my brother and me right now, which means you’re getting direct attention from people who’ve seen what works and what fails in Michigan’s tough weather. We’re not trying to be the biggest crew in town – we’re focused on being the one you’ll call again.
Our approach is straightforward: do quality work at competitive pricing, satisfy customers so completely they recommend us to their neighbors.
First, we come out and look at what you’re dealing with. We measure, assess the surface condition, and give you a clear estimate with no surprises.
Next, we prep the surfaces properly. This is where most painting jobs succeed or fail. We scrape, sand, prime, and repair as needed. Michigan weather demands this step be done right.
Then we paint using quality materials applied correctly. We work systematically, protect your landscaping and belongings, and clean up completely when we’re finished. You get the results you expected, on the timeline we promised.

You get both interior and exterior painting services from the same experienced crew. We handle residential projects of all sizes, plus some commercial work when it makes sense.
Center Line homes face unique challenges – the freeze-thaw cycles that crack paint, the humidity that causes problems with interior finishes, the salt air from nearby Lake St. Clair. We know these conditions and choose materials and techniques accordingly.
Whether you need your whole house painted or just a few rooms refreshed, we bring the same attention to quality and detail. Every project gets the benefit of our 10+ years of experience in this specific market.
Quality exterior paint jobs in Center Line typically last 7-10 years when done properly. Michigan’s weather is tough on paint – the freeze-thaw cycles, humidity from Lake St. Clair, and temperature swings all take their toll.
The key is proper surface preparation and using paint designed for our climate. We use high-quality primers and paints that flex with temperature changes and resist moisture penetration. Cheap paint jobs might look good initially but start failing within 2-3 years.
Your specific timeline depends on your home’s exposure, the condition of the existing paint, and the quality of materials used. We’ll give you realistic expectations during our estimate, not overpromise just to get the job.
Our estimates include all labor, materials, surface preparation, and cleanup. You’ll see exactly what paint we’re using, how many coats you’re getting, and what prep work is needed.
Surface preparation is crucial in Michigan and often the biggest variable in pricing. Some homes need extensive scraping and priming, others just need washing and minor touch-ups. We assess each situation individually and explain what’s necessary and why.
We also include protection for your landscaping, walkways, and outdoor furniture. No surprise charges for “extras” that should have been included from the start. The price we quote is what you pay, assuming no major hidden damage is discovered during prep work.
Exterior painting in Michigan requires temperatures above 50°F for proper paint adhesion and curing. We typically do exterior work from late spring through early fall when conditions are right.
Interior painting can be done year-round since we control the environment. Winter is actually a great time for interior projects – you’re spending more time inside anyway, and we can work without disrupting outdoor activities.
If you need exterior work done and it’s not painting season, we can often handle prep work like scraping and priming when weather permits, then complete the finish coats when conditions improve. We’ll work with your timeline and Michigan’s weather to get your project done right.
We help you choose colors that work well with your home’s style and Center Line’s neighborhood character. We can match existing colors exactly or help you select new ones that complement your home’s architecture.
For color matching, we use spectrophotometer technology to ensure precise matches. If you’re changing colors, we’ll show you how different options look in various lighting conditions – crucial since Michigan’s often cloudy weather affects how colors appear.
We also consider practical factors like heat absorption, fade resistance, and how colors will look with your landscaping and neighboring homes. The goal is a color choice you’ll love for years, not something you’ll regret by next season.
We handle complete interior painting including walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. This includes preparation work like patching holes, caulking gaps, and priming stained or damaged surfaces.
Our exterior services cover siding, trim, shutters, decks, and fences. We also do some commercial painting when the project fits our capabilities and schedule.
Whether it’s a single room refresh, whole-house interior makeover, or complete exterior transformation, we bring the same attention to quality and detail. Many of our Center Line customers use us for both interior and exterior projects because they know what to expect from our work.
For exterior work, we recommend scheduling 4-6 weeks in advance during peak season (late spring through early fall). Popular times like late spring and early summer book up quickly as everyone wants their homes painted before the weather turns.
Interior work has more flexibility since it’s not weather-dependent. We can often accommodate interior projects within 2-3 weeks, sometimes sooner depending on the scope and our current schedule.
If you’re planning to sell your home or have a specific deadline, let us know upfront. We’ll work with your timeline when possible and give you realistic expectations about scheduling. Early planning always gives you more options and better scheduling flexibility.
